52 Weeks Happy (30/52)

Hello there bloggy friends! How has your week been? Mine has literally disappeared. The second half of the year is hectic for us and I am finding the time slipping away from me. October especially is going to be crazy and I have been using most of my spare time to try and plan ahead for that month. But until then here are some other things I have been doing this past week...

1 - Isn't this the cutest thing you have ever seen!!! Corey was working nights last week and we spent the night at my parents house. Imogen & dad crashed out on the lounge together and I couldn't resist sneaking a photo.

2 - Last week I tested out a new recipe and made some delicious & healthy breakfast muffins. I have been eating these daily and am about to run out. Hopefully there are some leftover bananas this week so I can make more. Check out the recipe here.

3 - This week I dyed myself some shoes. I was so happy with how this pinterest project turned out. It was my first turn working with dye so it was a bit of trial and error but they worked out well in the end.

4 - I am a bit of an organising nerd! Lately I keep feeling like I am forgetting things. So one morning last week I sat down with my diary and got the next few months in order. Fingers crossed this cures my forgetfulness!

5 - I started a new sewing project this week. Yes, I already have one big project (my scrap quilt) on the go but I felt the need to start sewing something for me. I am pretty excited about this top and I only have sleeves, buttons & hems to go! Fingers crossed I'll have something to show you next week.

6 - On Sunday we went to visit my cousin and his too cute for words baby. I got a little preview of what life with two kids would be like. Hectic! But aren't they just the cutest little monkeys ever!!!

7&8 - What could be happier than a giant cupcake?! I was so excited to get the chance to use my giant cupcake tin again to make this cake. It was a lot of fun to make and although I wasn't in love with the finished project at first the more I look at it the more I love it!

9 - Big big happy story to go with this picture. At lunch on Saturday they were running a comp to post pics at the venue on instagram and have a chance to win a $50 voucher. I found out today that I won! Yay me!!! I am pretty stoked because I never win stuff. Plus the food was delicious so I am very much looking forward to going back.

So how has your week been? Have there been any special moments to make you smile?
